Process
pH Calibration
The process calibration is based on a comparative measurement of
the on-line instrument with a calibrated comparative electrode. Per-
form a valid manual measurement with the calibrated comparative
electrode. Then compare the measuring value with the on-line in-
strument and if necessary, enter the correct measuring value in the
menu <Maintenance/Electrode 1/2/Process Cal.> of the on-line in-
strument.
The deviation of the measuring values is shown as offset in mV.
Select <Save> and press <Enter> to save the correct measuring
value.
Standard
pH Calibration
The ideal pH electrode has an offset of 0 mV at pH 7 and a slope of
59.16 mV/pH unit. Real electrodes differ from this ideal. Therefore,
pH electrodes are calibrated with two buffer solutions, of different
pH values.
